Equinsu OchaAfrican and Kiwi Brews
Mods, I hope you don't mind me posting this here.. It definately has its place in African hunting!! If not, I understand.. Just that this forum is always the most popular.. and its been a tad bit slow around here lately..
Any of you guys here in the US know of anywhere I can pick up some African or New Zealand brews?? Seems like every time I sit down and have a few, I always feel like having a beer that make me feel like I'm on vacation in the bush again ... and whats better than a cold Castle on a hot afternoon??
So far I 've only been able to find some SteinLager from NZ around these parts.. good, but there's definately better out there..
Anybody know where I can buy some of these fine brews here in the US??
Castle, Tusker, Kilimanjaro, Windhoek, Hansa, or some Speights(mmmm) from New Zealand...
Thank you gents and cheers!

bulldog563Castle and a few other SA brews are usually available at your local SA foods store. Never tried mail order but I wouldn't be surprised to find it was available that way as well. Just don't get the bottles with the twist off cap, they have all been flat for me.

T.Carr http://www.africanhut.com/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=35&cat=Beers+%26+Cidershttp://www.wallywine.com/s-346-africa.aspxSeveral years ago I ordered some beer from the African Hut. I just found Wally's Wine by internet search.
The other source for South African stuff is
https://www.shop-southafricans.com/ but they don't have beer. This is where I get my Five Roses Tea, Mrs. Ball's Chutney, Ouma Rusks.

Bill/OregonSeems I have seen Tusker in a specialty beer shop here in Oregon. Perhaps I am wrong. My problem is that I'm always just so easily pleased with a cold oil can of Foster's ...
P.S. Ever try Xingu black beer from Brazil?

geeseNo but I had a couple "Brahma" beers in Rio many years ago, and had a headache for 2 days. Never could drink anything named after an animal again.
